Bootcamp 2026
Cohort 3Igniting Young Minds for a Digital Future
A four-week technology bootcamp by Imo Digital City Limited, built to equip children with future-ready digital skills through hands-on learning. Drones, robotics, coding, AI and digital art — taught by practising professionals, in groups small enough that every child is seen.

Hands-on Learning
Every single day
Across three editions, the Summer Tech Bootcamp has turned school holidays into something children remember for the right reasons. Graduates have gone on to lead robotics clubs, build games their classmates play, and — more than anything — arrive at secondary school unafraid of technology.
Highlights
See a bootcamp morning for yourself
Drones in flight, robots on the floor and the moment a nine-year-old's first program compiles. If you are deciding whether this is right for your child, start here.
Why Parents Choose Us
Six reasons families come back each year
Cohort 3 exists because parents from Cohorts 1 and 2 asked for it — and then told their neighbours.
Future-ready Skills
Children work with the same technologies shaping the next decade — drones, robotics, artificial intelligence and creative software — long before they meet them in a classroom or a career.
- Industry-relevant tools
- Age-appropriate curriculum
- Skills that compound
Hands-on Learning
No lectures, no memorisation. Every session ends with something a child has built, flown, drawn or programmed themselves — and can show you the same evening.
- Build from day one
- Take-home projects
- Learning by doing
Experienced Instructors
Sessions are led by practising engineers, designers and educators who have taught across all three cohorts and know how to hold a young learner's attention.
- Practising professionals
- Trained in child-led teaching
- Fully vetted
Confidence Building
Every learner presents their work to peers and parents at the end of the programme. Children leave able to explain what they built and why it matters.
- Public speaking practice
- Peer collaboration
- Showcase day

Learning Tracks
Six tracks. Pick one, master it.
Each child chooses a single track and stays with it for the full four weeks — long enough to go past the novelty and actually get good.
Robotics & Coding
Build a working robot and teach it to think. Sensors, motors and block-to-text programming, all in one project-led track.

Game Design
From sketch to playable. Learners design characters, build levels and ship a game their friends can actually play.
Explore this track
Artificial Intelligence
A gentle, honest introduction to how machines learn — training simple models, spotting bias, and using AI tools responsibly.
Explore this track
Digital Art & Animation
Illustration, motion and storytelling on professional software. Every learner finishes with a short animated piece.

Cyber Safety
Passwords, privacy, scams and screen habits — the practical judgement every child needs before they need it.

What Students Will Learn
Four weeks, four distinct phases — each one building on what the child could not do the week before.
1
Week 1
Technology Foundations
Learners meet their track, their tools and their trainers. Core concepts are introduced through short, playful exercises rather than theory.
- Tooling set up
- First working project
- Safety and studio rules
2
Week 2
Practical Projects
The build begins in earnest. Each child takes an idea of their own from sketch to prototype with an instructor beside them.
- Individual project brief
- Prototype built
- First iteration reviewed
3
Week 3
Team Collaboration
Learners are grouped across tracks for a challenge that no single track could solve alone — the drone pilots need the coders, and vice versa.
- Cross-track team challenge
- Shared problem-solving
- Peer feedback
4
Week 4
Final Showcase & Graduation
Projects are finished, rehearsed and presented to an audience of parents and guests. Certificates are presented on the same day.
- Project presented
- Certificate awarded
- Portfolio to take home
Testimonials
From the parents and children who were there
Unedited words from families who spent four weeks of their holiday with us.
“My son came home on the first day talking about servo motors. By the fourth week he had built a robot that followed a line across our sitting room floor. I have never seen him that proud of himself.”
“I thought coding would be boring. It was not boring. I made a game where you dodge asteroids and my little sister still plays it every day.”
“What convinced me was the class size. There were never so many children that an instructor could not sit down with my daughter and go through her work line by line.”
“Flying the drone was the best part, but I liked learning why it stays in the air. The trainers always answered my questions properly instead of saying it is complicated.”
“Three of our neighbours enrolled their children after seeing the showcase. It is the only holiday programme where I felt the four weeks genuinely changed how my child thinks.”
“I now teach my mum about strong passwords. She writes them down, which the trainers said is not allowed.”

Frequently Asked Questions
If your question is not here, the programme coordinator will answer it within a working day.
None at all. Every track begins from first principles and each cohort has included complete beginners alongside children who have coded before. Instructors assess each learner in the first week and adjust the pace accordingly.
